In preparation for implementation of a new state law that will allow people with concealed firearm permits to carry handguns on much of the University of Wyoming campus, the university will conduct a training session and has published frequently asked questions and answers on UW’s website.
The law takes effect Tuesday, July 1.
The training is scheduled Wednesday, May 28, at 10:30 a.m. in Room 121 of the Business Building and will be livestreamed at https://uwyo.zoom.us/j/97723829384. The training is presented by Vice President and General Counsel Tara Evans; UW Police Department Chief Josh Holland; Chad Bade, director of health and safety in UW Emergency Management; and College of Law Professor George Mocsary, director of the Firearms Research Center at UW.
The training will provide a general overview of the issues and rights related to the Second Amendment, including open carry and concealed carry, and what is allowed on campus. UW employees and students interested in learning more about how the Second Amendment and campus carry apply to higher education are invited to participate.
Additionally, detailed information about the new state law and UW’s implementation of it is available in the FAQs on the UWPD website at www.uwyo.edu/uwpd/campuscarryfaq/campuscarryfaqs.html.
Questions about the implementation and enforcement of the new law can be directed to UWPD found at this link .
